Chapter 929 - 20 The Richest Woman
Chapter 929: Chapter 20 The Richest Woman
The day after Zhou Qingyue’s phone call, Jiang Xu took his family on a plane heading straight for Hangcheng.
It was the winter break for all three kids, perfect for them to tag along for a bit of fun and broaden their horizons.
Though the Agricultural Country had become prosperous, it still paled in comparison to the domestic cities.
Moreover, there were more people and a livelier atmosphere there.
After flying for more than ten hours, the plane landed.
As soon as they exited the airport, they saw Zhou Qingyue and Zhou Mengmeng waiting outside.
...
Zhou Mengmeng was still dressed like a youthful girl.
Her light pink skirt fluttered as she moved, paired with white stockings as pure as jade, outlining her graceful figure and exuding the vigor of youth.
Her skin was fairer than snow, delicate and smooth, and under the lights, it almost seemed to glow softly, catching one’s eye immediately.
Her body curved gracefully, and her entire being radiated the sweetness and confidence of a young girl.
Zhou Qingyue, today, was dressed like a queen bee.
Her tall figure was accentuated by a black, form-fitting long dress that traced her beautiful curves.
An irresistible charm emanated from her, inside and out.
Her black hair fell like a waterfall in the dead of night, setting off her stunning face, while her eyes exuded nobility and a commanding presence with every glance.
Every move she made was full of allure.
Anyone looking at her could only think of two things,
Either to submit or to conquer.
“Nuonuo~”
Zhou Mengmeng dashed over and hugged An Nuonuo tightly, “I’ve missed you so much.”
At the same time, she winked at Jiang Xu, her lips silently mouthing, “I’ve missed you, want to be…”
Jiang Xu: “…”
This little imp was getting bolder, daring to do this right in front of An Nuonuo.
Hmph, it looked like he needed to find an opportunity to properly deal with her.
Zhou Qingyue stepped forward in her high heels, also greeting them with a smile on her face.
Then, both their gazes fell on Jiang Xu’s three children, revealing an undisguised fondness.
Normal people couldn’t help but adore the three kids.
Pale and clean, cute and lovable, well-behaved and polite, their voices were soft and sweetly mannered.
“Hello, two beautiful sisters~”
Instantly, Zhou Mengmeng and Zhou Qingyue felt as if their hearts were melting.
Too kawaii.
These three little ones were simply the cutest creatures in the world.
Jiang Xu said with a smile, “Let’s get going, there’s no need to stand around here.”
“Okay,” Zhou Qingyue pursed her lips into a smile, “The cars are waiting outside.”
Jiang Xu’s security detail went ahead to check things out.
The airport had been chartered today; there would be no outsiders.
This time, Jiang Xu was here in a private capacity, so the outside world was unaware.
In the business van, Jiang Xu’s family sat in one vehicle, Zhou Qingyue and Zhou Mengmeng in another.
Zhou Qingyue, watching Zhou Mengmeng’s buzzing energy, couldn’t help but douse her enthusiasm with cold water, “Don’t get so excited; there’s no possibility between you and Jiang Xu.”
Zhou Mengmeng thought to herself, everything that should and shouldn’t have happened between Jiang Xu and me has happened.
Now, we are in the same trench, much closer than you and he are.
But these things she couldn’t say out loud, she could only respond vaguely.
Then, she steered the conversation towards Zhou Qingyue, “Don’t talk about me, what about you? Aren’t you all dressed up today just so Jiang Xu would take a few more glances at you?”
“Last time you went to fetch the Best Actress award, you didn’t even dress up this nicely.”
“Nonsense,” Zhou Qingyue retorted stubbornly, “This is just to show respect for Jiang Xu and his family’s visit, it has nothing to do with what you’re thinking.”
Zhou Mengmeng pouted, clearly not believing a word of it.
But she couldn’t be bothered to expose the lie.
What she was thinking about now was how to find a way to create an opportunity to be alone with Jiang Xu.
After all, it had been a long time since she had eaten…
“Wow, daddy, this place is so beautiful.”
“Such a tall building.”
“Mommy, there are so many luminous boats on that river.”
————
The three children were perched at the car window, looking at the scenery outside, all very excited.
An Nuonuo, too, was leaning out the window, filled with emotion: “Things have changed so much, it feels like if you don’t come for a year, there would be earth-shattering changes.”
“Of course,” Jiang Xu said with a hint of pride in his voice, “Our country’s development is very rapid.”
No matter how Jiang Xu’s status had changed, one thing would remain unchanged.
He was born in this country, and a hundred years later, he would return to his roots.
They quickly arrived at their accommodation.
Everyone got out of the car.
“Sis, why here?” Zhou Mengmeng looked at the hotel in front of her: “Weren’t we going to stay at our house?”
If they were in a hotel, how could she create the chance to be alone with Jiang Xu?
Besides, a hotel wasn’t safe enough.
“I bought this hotel outright six months ago,” Zhou Qingyue said with a smile:
“I then conducted a large-scale security risk assessment of the entire hotel and added a lot of security hardware and software.”
“So having Jiang Xu and his family stay here will be much safer than at our home.”
“Sis, when did you buy this place?” Zhou Mengmeng exclaimed.
But at the same time, she felt a little disgruntled.
Zhou Qingyue must have done it on purpose.
Just to stop her from having contact with Jiang Xu.
Hmph, wicked sister, this is too much.
If you can’t eat the meat yourself, you won’t let me have a bite either.
Zhou Qingyue glanced at Zhou Mengmeng and chuckled inwardly.
Yes, she had arranged it on purpose.
The main reason was actually for fear that Zhou Mengmeng would fall completely into it and ruin her own life.
Yet she did not know that her sister had long been involved with Jiang Xu…
An Nuonuo looked up at the hotel that was at least fifty stories high and said in amazement, “This couldn’t have been cheap, right?”
“It’s okay,” Zhou Qingyue said, quite pleased with herself, “The total price was 6.8 billion, and now after renovations, plus the effect of my celebrity influence, the business is more than double what it was before the acquisition.”
Without realizing it, Zhou Qingyue’s assets were growing rapidly.
She was in the golden age of her career.
And now, in the domestic entertainment industry, she alone made up twenty percent of all actors’ earnings with just her film and endorsement deals, while Jiang Xu’s entertainment company took sixty percent.
The remaining twenty percent went to the hundreds of thousands of other industry workers.
It could be said that the vast majority of the benefits produced in the entertainment industry were going into the pockets of Jiang Xu and Zhou Qingyue.
Jiang Xu estimated that Zhou Qingyue’s personal assets had already surpassed a hundred billion now.
“You’re amazing, Zhou,” An Nuonuo said sincerely, “It might not be long before you become the richest person in the country.”
With Zhou Qingyue’s assets, she could probably already be the richest woman on the female billionaires list.
What do you think?
